I really like the style of this jacket
Hi, I’ve downloaded the Zea Bkazer pattern but it doesn’t appear to have instructions. Where can I find them please?
Hi, Victoria! The instructions can be found here. 🙂
Hi, I’m relatively new to sewing and I was wondering–what are the most important measurements to take into account when it comes to picking the right size? Mine are kind of all over the place (at least if I’m interpreting things right lol). Thank you!
Hi Shep! I usually cut out the biggest size, and blend sizes as needed. For instance, if my bust is a size 14, my waist is a 12, and my hips are a 16, I cut out the size 16. I make a mark on the bust at size 14, a mark on the waist at size 12, and another mark on the hips at 16. I draw a new line from the bust point, connecting it to the waist point, and then the hips. Try to stay true to the angles and shapes of the original lines and curves. I highly recommend sewing a mock up first, to make sure things are looking and fitting well. 🙂 Good luck!
